SubZero Cool T Short Sleeve Cooling Base Layer Review

A weight of 130g, sun protection of factor 100, 100% polyamide (hard-wearing) fabric... Welcome to the SubZero short sleeve cooling base layer!

The tshirt works (as far as I can see) by moving the moisture rapidly across the baselayer (not just where the moisture is) and letting it escape very quickly indeed. One thing I noticed was that when your back gets sweaty, you'll find the short spreads that sweat across a wide area to maximise wicking.

Looking down over Thirlmere
The fabric is 'bi-component' which means something to someone. What it means to me is that the fabric is very porous and at the same time, very breathable.

The actual tshirt fit is exceptional too (close fitting across the whole top but most restrictive in any way) and quite flattering too, if that's important to you at all...

Not much more to say except this does what it says it will do brilliantly!
